The asteroid belt is much farther away than the DART target. They targeted a near earth asteroid and the purpose of this test was to protect the earth from potentially hazardous asteroids. Any such consensus would be nice to have but not at all required under any current treaty. Plus who is going to try to stop the US from sending interplanetary probes
